- When a group plan their aims and activities, it is easy to be positive and to assume everything will go well. However, all kinds of things may change how planned activities work out. Often things don’t turn out as planned.
- When planning activities, it is very helpful to consider what may unexpectedly change and put the activities at risk. For example, key members may become ill or leave the group; there may be a natural disaster; the Treasurer may disappear with the money; another group may start producing the same products.
- Once risks are considered, the group will be better prepared to deal with the unexpected.
